Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (MADISON BLUES) (7-2) - Lightly raced 4-year-old is facing winners for the first time. She broke her maiden at this distance Aug 11 at Saratoga and has been working above average since. Stalker gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Undertherain) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, speedy filly is dropping down to a new low this afternoon. Capable of stalking if necessary, 4-year-old has a fine local record 5-1-2-0. An obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Nile Princess) (8-1) - No-speed type moves back to the grass after a non-competitive effort in a switched race here Sept. 15. She's best on the grass and it's noted that Javier Castellano is aboard for the first time.
4th pick: #6 (Cheering for Al) (12-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old stretches out in distance and drops in class for this attempt. Barn (Rudy Rodriguez) is very hot right now and he has Jose Ortiz aboard today.
